Virtual Lab-What are the advantages of alternative energy?
Open the "Intro to Obtaining and Using Energy Resources" power point and follow the instructions to create an Energy Resources foldable. Glue your foldable into your notebooks
Today in class we deepened our knowledge and understanding of energy sources by reading an article on " Renewable and Non- renewable Energy Sources" and answering the questions in a somewhat “unconventional” format. In your notebooks, use the pages as a canvas and answer the questions in a visually appealing note-like format. (see below)
You will create 7 organizers for the Energy Resources we have been studying.
Fossil Fuels
Hydroelectricity
Biomass
Wind Power
Geothermal
Nuclear Energy
Solar Power
Environmental Costs - The monetary(of or relating to money) impact from the negative environmental effects resulting from the choices we make Social Costs- The decision-making as measurement of costs and benefits to the individual. Use the following links to assist in your research:
